STRONG LETTER FROM THE EOS. B. ODELL
... , : DUNCAN,
:>...-:;.
A Pill JOT Judge James Li. Orr.
i
The lollQ.wing letter, addressed to Judge
Orr, which has Just peen received from the
Hon. B. Odell Duncan, o? Newberry, 8. C.,
now United State's Consul at Naples, is worthy
o? the thoughtful attention of all citizens, and
more especially, of the honest and.well-mean?
ing members or the. Republican party among |
non. James L. OIT . . .. . ;
MT DEAR SIR-lt was with surprise 'mingled
wlc? regret faat' 1 read your letter of adhesion to
tue Had leal, nominations in Sou th Carolina. Why
you should have ehosen-this moment to do.^o,
when sachan efforfis being made by the good
and true or both parties to effect t. reform'in the
corrupt, administration of-our government, I am
unable to conceive. Yon know how anxious
some of the best men lu the newly formed Re?
publican party were, to have you join us in "67
and 'OS? Yon will >loubtless remember how fre?
quently I myself presselTthe matter upon yon ?
.1 knew that both yon and lion. #? W: Boyce had
yonr eyes open to-the necessities of tne situation,
and consequently was-exceedingly anxious for
you both to- join us, and put yourselves at the
head of the' new party. We were in the greatest
want of men of such intelligence and experience.
Many corrupt elements, fr om Doth tile Nona and
Sooth, had entered the party, not from patrr?'.ic
motives, bat for seir-promotion. But a glance at
the State Convention In Charleston was enough
to convince any one of- this. , We needed more
good material to prevent these- baa elements from
getting control oX the organization;? ' ;
But there were a few'good men4n' the conven?
tion of both races, who generally succeeded in
leading it wisely*: so that upon the whole a.g?od
constitution was framed for the state. Tbe'hu
mane provisions yon Justry laud were made by
that convention; a homestead wai provided for,
debts for slaves were abollshed.lmprlsonment for |
debts was abolished, and every distinction on
account' of raca or color was forbidden. The
principles the party then represen tc J were equal?
ity Jn the eyes' of the law for both race?. This
the Democrats opposed by every means, fair and
foul, at their command. On this question, of
con rae, t ne colo red people were?nnlt. 'For a'color
ed man then to have voted against the Republican
party would have been to have voted against als
own rights, his ow a freedom, and to have merit?
ed the execration or his own race. The folly of
the. Democratic party In assuming such a posi?
tion or necessary host ll tty to both the colored
race and the demands of'tba-Federal Govern?
ment, need not now be characterized, as it seems
to have recognized the errer and repented. Bat
notwithstanding this'rolly, yon coskl not then be
induced to abandon that party. Some Of yonr
arguments for joining the Radical .party now j
would have been unanswerable at thai time bat
seem to me to be much lcm appUcable'at present.
> Th? sitnation. you must admit, ls quite changed
from what lt was two years andi a half ago. I
cannot1 better express this than you do tn yonr
letter. Yon say: '-The distinguished nominee of j
that (Reform) convention for Governor ls a Re?
publican. The platform adopted tn its essential
feature was Republican; it accepted and propos?
ed to sustain the Fifteenth Constitutional Amend?
ment, and made no political issue with the Re?
publican party except Reform. To vote foi* either
of the nominees for Governor ls to. vote tor a Re?
publican; to i us tain either of the platforms ls to
sustain the leading features of Republican princi?
ples.'' Bat the situation has changed m' another
respect. What some then foresaw nas come to
pass. The worst elements of the ; Radical party
nave-gained complete control of its. organization.
Two years age F. A. Sawyer, that brightest orna-,
ment of reconstruction, could be elected to the
United States Senate. Now he is insultingly eject?
ed from a convention calling Itself Republican,
in which a Whlttemore reigns supreme. Two
years ago Chamberlain and Tomllnson had potent
voices In shaping the action of oar conventions,
Now they have to give place to Whlttemore, T. J.
Mackey, and others ol that stamp. The pious
cadet-broker, who bas done more to disgrace
Southern Republicanism In the eyes of the
nation than any other man, now* with unheard
of Insolence and, effrontery, writes platforms
on honesty, and economy la placa of Chamber?
lain. ? The party has become thoroughly corrupt?
ed, and. the rew Individuals who were Incorrupti?
ble have lost their influence, and are only used as
ornamental statues; or, if they seek "Reform,"
ai e vilely abused as traitors, Democ rats, and thc
most corrupt of all. The Legislature, as "The
Nation," correctly says, has proved Itself a dis?
grace to civilization. Oar Chief Magistrate, the
pet of the party, Ulled his pockets with State
bonds, as his .organ boasts, and thin lobbied
through the Legislature that Infamous Cold bill,
which was a; the time equivalent to Increasing.
the interest of the bonds over two per cent, over
what was at OrSt contracted Xor. This ts .a part
of his brilliant financial policy. Besides, Gov?
ernor Scott had R in his power, to say the least,
to prevent the corruption or t he land commis?
sion, and did nut do so. He has filled the State
with a set of contemptible men, called consta
bits,'to Toment discord between the races. He
has seemed to seek fot the -important office of I
magistrate (trial justice) the most -ignorant and |
debased men be could flail, provided, always,
they belonged to the ?ni?a League. His official
appointments all over the State have been Buch
as to bring the government into disrepute, and
- to keep up continual irritation In their respective
sections. But a full Indictment agalust Governor
Scott would be too long for my present purposes.
I only mention what are indisputable facts, and
what every one can Bee for himself. Other
high o facials and favorites of their party have
been equally . or more corrupt.. This, cor
rurftfon yon ad mit, 'though expressing - it Some?
what mildly. You say "the avowed purpose of ;
the (Reform) Convention wai to afreet reforms
in the administration of the State Govern?
ment, in some of Its departments retrenchment I
and reform \s doubtless greatly needed. Some [
of Ks offices are flDed by incompetent and cor.
rupL men, who shonhl be driven from the places
ihey'occupii. More economy lh the appropriation
and disbursement of the public money should be
"practiced. Yon admit that both candidates and
both platforms ..re Republican, the only differ?
ence being the qu&ton of "Reform." You admit
the Incompetence, corruption and extravagance
in the present administration, and the nec?sity
or "Reform." Yet yea avow your in tent lou of
voting for those who oppose lt. You ask If 'it
would not be most ungrateful for the colored
man to renounce snob a party, (the Antt-Rerorm)
when Its very existence is now threatened." I
answer that it seems to me an tn suit to the honest, '
intelligent colored mar. te suppose he will sup?
port thejparty of corrnptlor. and extravagance,
against! another tqually Repablicau, according to
your own showing, but m favor of reform. Were
there any principle at stake affecting the rights of
the colored race like in :67 and '88, of course every
colored man could b?-expseted to vote a unit for
his rights. But now that those principles have
been settled beyond the power of any State to
modify them, an? have been accepted as final hy
au, and now thaftuere ls "no issue except "Re?
form," I tblnx lt very reasonable to. expect a
laffevoteoi the most honest and intelligent
colored men In favor of the "Re'-^"'candidates.
Tour plan for effecting reform by joining the
party of corruption seems to rae father novel,
and I thins woald meet with very serions obsta?
cles. It woald not ba sufficient to call yourself |
a Republican. Yon would also nave to join the
Union "League and take part' tn its disgusting
squabbles. Besides it is said that new converts
must undergo a period of probation, before they
can be fully trusted. All this would inak? the
process of reform, on your plan, slow and diffi?
cult. I do not remember any instance of a party
having been reformed in this way. . : The general
rufefsfar parties'to become more corrupt as they I
grow older.' If I am not ; mistaken,' reforms are ?
generaily effected ju?t as the "Reformers" In
Sooth Carolina how 'propose.-I could mention
many Instances of such. Virginia no w en joys the
beneflts.'Of a respectable government, as the re |
suit of a similar movement; ami. If my memory
does not fall mc, quite a respectable number of J
the most Intelligent colored mea voted for it.
The City of Chicago was only able to "free herself
from a corrupt, "ring" of one party of the other
by a com bin arion bf the 'good: elements of both
parties in favor of reform. The "Yoong Democ?
racy" of New York are now attempting to refarm
Tammany, not by, joining, the "ring," but by form?
ing a separate organization.
Nor can'I at ail agree with voa that this can?
vass, even should'it be nnshccessful, will prove
"a serious Injury to the Statel" lt will tend to
instruct the colored people in political life, make
them more Independent of secret leagues, and
prepare the way for success in the future. -It
will cause the corruptlonists themselves to be
less bold and,violent, seeing the danger they In?
cur. It will strengthen the better elements of the
party mnctt. m ore than If no effort had been made
against'coTrxipt lon. It will result In sending to
the Legislature, If nota majority,-a much mor?
intelligent, active and honest* minority, which
will be able to expose and prevent much of the
corruption that disgraced the last Legislature.
By keeping a keen eye. on the administration, it
will be able ib p'rot?ct the State Treasury. Se?
rious troubles will very likely grow out of the
contest, owing to Scott's manifest determination
to carry the day by, force,or .fraud. But. this is a
danger tb be m et sooner br later, and better now,
'probably, than .twp .years. hence. Officials in
South Carolina should be taught, os they are now
being taught In North Carolina, thar lawlessness
on their partis as much a crime as on' the parr of
simple individuals. .. .........
I cannot judge at this 'dlstance'of the prospects,
but I hope for the success of the "Reformers.''
I am-opposed to the present, administration be?
cause "incompetent," "corrupt," and "extrava- '
gant," and because "reform ls'greatly needed."
lam ta favor -of. the '.ReformeroV because their
principles .are Republican, and because there "is
no issue except reform." I believe in Judge Car?
penter* tho state would.have, an, able and honest
Governor. I believe that more woald be doner .'or
the education of the colored race than by ..the
present administration.- I believe Justice would
be better secured to them by having a more com?
petent set of magistrates and subordinate offi?
ciais. 1 believe, with the election of Carpenter,
the fomentatton of discord between th? two
races would cease..and that they would live to?
gether In peace ansi harmony, to tho great gain
of both, but more especially of the colored race.
i am perfectly well aware that, lo taking .this
position. I am subjecting myself to denunciation
by a certain set of men aa traitor, 4c. But by
advocating the principles of the Republican parry
in '67 and '68, when it was not without, danger In.
my section of the State to db so, I think I proved
sufficiently that 1 was not to be moved from the
coarse I considered right by denunciation or
danger. 1 am a Republican, and expect to re?
main so. But 1 do not consider lt my duty as a
Republican to vote for men. I am convinced are
corrupt, merely because they can claim the "reg?
ular" party nomination, more especial: v when the
party ls led by a whit tem ore.
Very respectfully, yours, .

THAT LAND COMMISSION MUDDLE.
What tile Ex-Commlaaioner bas to Say,
TO TH? EDITOR OF THE "NEWS.
I have Just read General Butler's speech de?
livered in this city on the night of the nth in?
stant. I regret exceedingly that I feel myself !
compelled to ask you to publish any answer
thereto, far many reasons which I shall not now
give ta the public. I reg re t that General Butler said
what he did In regard to myself", as land com?
missioner. I am quite certain that I did not merit
it. 1 have .bad bat very little acquaintance with
General Butler, but was under the Impression
that he WAS a man who was terribly In earnest,
and whc Was anxious to always vindicate the
truth. I repeat lt, I am surprised at hin re narks
concerning myself as land commissioner, fer they
are not true in fact.
I cannot believe, from what I know of General
Butler, or from what he actually knows of me, that
he Intended to speak unkindly of me, (no matter
how lt may sound to strangers' ears, j I am com?
pelled t? say, however, I bellev?, that in order to
bring all tlie Northern men residing: lu this Stale
Into geueral discredit, he was' wining to assail me
by Insinuating that I. "aman* (rom New York,"
bad discriminated against Republicans on ac?
count of their color. 1 believe thia. was General
Butler's object when he made use of the follow?
ing, language, speaking of the land commis?
sioner : "And who was he ? Aman named Les?
lie, hailing from Kew York." Again General But?
ler says.; "They went to Leslie and asked what
he would charge-to get out of his place. His re?
ply was, if you put In a negro I shall charge you
a big price, but If you are going to put in a white
man I shan't charge you anything."
Now, Mr. Editor, I know'hot where General
Butler obtains bis Information, but if he ever
heard such a statement, I pronounce lt false, from
whatever quarter lt maj come. As a Republican,
I never have, nor never win, objoct to any man
holding office simply because of his color or his
birthplace. I never objected to the appointment
of Mr. DeLarge . to the office of lan i commission?
er on account of his color, but I did oblect to him
because I did not believe him competent for the
office, and for other reasons which it ls unnecessa?
ry now to mention.
It ls well known that there was a great deal of
Ul feeling growing out of-the fact that Messrs.
Cain, Whipper and Elliott demanded my removal
as land commissioner because I was white, and
DeLarge'8 appointment because he was colored.
Mr. DeLarge secured the place, and 1 trust
that he will be able to satisfy and show to bis
own people that he. has done more for colored
people than-I did or would have done. . General
Butler said that when I turned over the office to
Mr.' De Largo all the money was spent. Tots is
not true. Mr. DeLarge has expended /or laud,
through drafts drawn by himself and Mr. Cardu?
zo, the sum of $24i,ooo cash. I leave it to his own
race to say how much better off they are than
they would have been, if myself, or some better
white man/hart continued to hold the office. :
Yours, C. P. LKSLIB.

THE TH ARIN MOVEMENT.
[Communication.]
. The meeting at Masonic Hal), on Thursday
Dight, waa an entire success. R. S. Tharin,
the People's candidate for Congress, spoke for
more than two hom's, and roc jived the plaud?
its of the crowded audience from first to larsf.
At the conclusion of his speech the fallowing
resolutions were unanimously adopted with
the most vocif?rons and enthusiastic applause:
Wltereas, All the intelligent people of the Se?
cond Congressional District are un wining to be
repiesented ta Congress by such a man as c. C.
Bowen, who. ts denounced by the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, the Radical organ of Penn?
sylvania, as "an adventurer and camp-follower
ta the rebel anny, and more than once arraigned
Tor crime before the rebel .military authorities,
who naturally- cast In his lot- with the swarm of
vampires who have fastened upon that State, in
desecration of the . name Of Republicanism,', and
eating out its vitals and making reconstruc?
tion a term of reproach among all upright men;"
and whereas, we find,' on the other hand,- no
qualities in R. C. DeLarge which' go to make up
fl tn ess for Congressional honors; and whereas,
these two fact iou ists are supporte* by two equally
corrupt political Rings who have not the good of
the whole people before their'eyes:
J&uoli'ed.That it is unwise for this district to
degrade Itself by choosing either Bowen or De
Large to represent us ta Congress, ami that we
protest against such a calamity as altogether In?
conceivable.
Resolved, That In R. S. Tharin, the People's
candidate tar Congress, we have a native and a
gentleman of honer and abUity, an original
Unionist and the Mend ai the tcltole people, who
ls the open roe or clIques?nd Rings, and who shall
receive our votes for Congress, where he will do
bia duty, ir elected, to the district and renee t no
discredit upon his constituents. -
/ esolved. That we invoke the good sense and
the Belf-respect or the district to rescue the people
rrom such an evil as the election dt Bowen or
DeLarge would necessarily entail upon ns.
Resolved, That copies or these resolutions be
fumlshed to the dally papers far pubUcati on.

The ladles of Lexington draped with their own
hands the College chapel which General Lee built,
and beneath which he ls to be burled. Meetings
have:been held in all quarters to give expression
to the universal sorrow;.. The racuitv o' Washing?
ton College passed resolutions declaring it to be
their duty and privilege to .provide the dead hero
with a suitable memorial whereby bis name may,
be held in reverence for aiPfnture time. An eu?
logy on the life and character of General Lee will
be delivered- In ihe college chapel on Jane 19,
1871-the aunlversarv ol bis birth. An endeavor
will be mode to connect thc name of Lee with
that of Washington tn the designation or the col?
lege.
Two years ago General Lee told General Pen?
dleton that he did cot expect to live longer than
two years more. The even lng he was tatton sick
he was unusually bright and cheerful. 7} j
Tue remote reason or General Lee's death was
a long continuance of depressing moral causes,
commencing with/the weighty responsibilities
and anxieties during thelast year of the war, and
and the effect which the overthrow of the cause
beloved, and .the condition or.the South since,
have had upon him. He bore all with calm exte?
rior and devoted himself 'to the duty or tho "hour,
but the fibres or his great heart were atlast
broken. The proximate cause of his death was
mental and physical fatigue, Inducing venous
conjestlon of the brain, which gradually caused
cerebral exhaustion and death. ?
[in Augusta, -Atlanta, Chattanooga. Indianap?
olis and Washington meetings were held, and the
death of General Lee appropriately commemo?
rated.
. . RICHMOND, Oe toner 14.
A message has been received stating tune the
family of Gs ?eral Lee would not be averse- to his
burial at Hollywood, and the committee of the
legislature left the city for Lexington this eve?

THE ABBINGTON ESTATE.
WASHINGTON, October 14.
L is generally believed that the government
holds the Arlington estate by the coaflsoatlon act,
and ir this were true the property would now re?
vert to the widow of General Lee. The property
was left by Mr. Custl3 to Mrs. Lee, his daughter,
with a ure interest,and at her death to Custls and
Fitz Hugh Lee, his grandsons. The taxe? being
unpaid during the war, lt became the property of
the United States by tax purchase, and ls now
held by a tax title. Efforts have been matte to
redeem lt, but without avail. Tile best part of the
estate ls now covered by the Njtlonal Cemetery.

It aa a, matter, pf deep.and solemn Interest, an
eveutwh?c h bad touched the sensibilities not
only pf ?ye'ry member pf bb' ?lia'mm?r/b?t I
which ls now awakening the sympathies' of I
the entire civilized world wherever honor and
virtue-was appreciated. He would, therefore,
ask'permission to- defer all further business
and official; proceedings, that .the,.' Chamber
might .give expression , to, ita,sympathies,on
this occasion.- ?.r;i.-oZ '?reo? vi ?J
.- Colonel A. 0. Andrews .then, rose and made
the following remarks: i.fioitj or
Kr. President and Gentlemen of t7ii?'Chait?ber \
of Commerce-l am sure there ls no heart beating
here today which does not feel prompted to give;
utterance-to that general sentiment .of sorrow
and sympathy which the unlooked-for death' of. j
one, pre eminently strong In the publie'reverence
and affection, is everywhere evoking.
There ls a common bond la sorrow, Which knits' |
closely and tenderly the diviner chords of onr na?
ture. Seldom have those chords been more deep?
ly, more keenly struck. ?*] j
The relations in which- General Lee stood to so
vast a number-the trying scenes lu which be was I
so long, a. chief figure-the - ch?quered fortunes |
through walch he passed, unstained, unshaken,
unseduced, undaunted-w^th purposa coustant,
unselfish and single-our light, our hope, our con?
fidence-flsmlng like the beacon-star from Heaven
while the angry billows surged and seethed be
low, shining with light only the more steady and
serene, and more lustrously brilliant as darker
grew the night-3ll these gavo opportunities for
the revelation and exercise of- character. How
that character, revealed' itself, how closely and
Inseparably it'has'wouhd ' Itself in the affections
of the public heart, tod se cru red tho .'judgment

on record our attestation of - the ''value of thar,

Be it, therefore, '
Resolved. That the Charleston Chamber of Com?
merce, deeply- sharing In the grief which over?
whelms our people in the recent death or- Robert
E. Lee, avails itself ot its meeting to-day ta give
expression td Its profound sympathy in the gene?
ral bereavement,- and will ever cherish with rev?
erence and; love the virtues and character by
which he was so pre eminently distinguished.
Resolved, That In outward symbol of onr rev?
erence and admiration of the deceased, the stan?
dard of the Chamber-be continued to uo aiapiaj ed
from our hall at half-mast.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published
In the Journals of the day, and that a copy of I
these resolutions be seat, by the president, to the
fa ra i y or General Lee.
These resolutions were eloquently and feel?
ingly seconded by Colonel P. C. Gaillard, and
at the conclusion of his. remarks, the Hon.
George A. Trenholm rose and said :
1 cannot refrain, Mr. President, from*ualtlog
my voice with the gentlemen who have preceded
me, la giving expression to our sympathy and
sorrow In the death of {his great man.' It has
been well said that there ls no spectacle la life
more noble than that of an honest man strug?
gling against adverse fortune. How- muoh more
sublime ls lt to see a virtuous nation bravely con?
tending against adversity. Such, slr, is the pres?
ent condition or the people or the South; but to
the poverty and want they snorer, uo sense or
?hame ls attached. Though it pleased Almighty
God to bring the cause for which they suffered
and bled into misfortune and failure, defeat ls un?
tarnished by shame. They can proudly proclaim
the honesty of the convictions that carried them
Into battle, and point with honor to the heroic
spirits who were the champions of thetr cause.
Such, slr, was he whose death we now lament.
He was the greatest Captain of the age-? trae
soldier-a hero possessed or all the attributes or
greatness, the sublimity or genius, the repose or
eonrage, the meekness or piety. Not alone a
great soldier but a good man, whose presence', be
lt reverently said, could be more easily spared
from the Heaven to which he ls ascended, than
from the earth which he has forsaken. Mor let lt
be supposed, slr, that hts rame belongs to us
alone. {The great American nation win recognize
bis genios, and claim a share in h la glory. I paro
that confidence In the magnanlm ty of our
fellow-cltlzens ,of the North. They will do
justice to the memory of this great soldier,
this pnreand upright man. Though lately ar?
rayed against each other In the bloody ranks of
war, we are nsw, by the decree of Heaven, one
people. Let us be united lo sentiment, as we are
m destiny* let a victorious and triumphant adver?
sary unite in the tribute of respect and admira?
tion to genius and virtue. He was a great and
glorious captain-an honor to the nation that
gave him birth. Hts character and .his actions
belong to the history of the age, and, con ferric g
as they da great honor upon human nature, they
are the common property of mac kin*. None
will reproach his memory. Reared tn a school in
which fidelity to the State of hts birth was taught
as the first rudiment of patriotic duty and of po?
litical science, he obeyed the call of Virginia and
drew his heroic sword in her defence. : Yes, slr;
none will reproach him ; even his adversaries wl?l
vindicate the sincerity of his-sentiments, and t e
spect the sacrifice he made in lay lag the hopes of I
ambition on the altar of patriotism. To-day, in
our harbor, every flag floats at half-mast in honor
of hiB memory-the "starsand stripes," the "old j
flag" itself does equal homage with the rest.' Let
us hope, slr, that the .noble an* generous senti?
ment thus evinced may draw together more
closely, io bonds or renewed sympathy and affec?
tion, those whom Gad has Joined together as one
people. Made brethren once more with our coun?
trymen of the North, let us. not distrust the gen .
eroslty of their sentiments ou this sad occasion.
Let os rather believe that they will unite with us
to bury m the grave of this great man all past
animosities, and build ap In his monument new
bonds of mutual affection and confidence.
Major Henry E. Young then addressed the
meeting as follows :
Mr. President-Toa, and my brethren of this
Chamber will, I am sure, bear with me a few mo?
ments, and Indulge mein the expression of that
sorrow which I reel In comraoa with you all-with
ene whole country. Mr. President, to most or us
General Lee stands as one of the great actors of
Uxis world on the page or history-of a history, lt |
ls true, not yet written.
But for myseir, I confess that at this moment
I turn rather from his triumphs and straggles, to
more quiet scenes. My memory dwells now uot
on his magnificent.strategy; not on his Chancel?
lorsville. My feelings turn me rather to the
scenes, a? vivid before me as yesterday, when
this grand old maa. after the day,!s work, sat by
the camp-fires, with .his staff around him. No
rear, no awe or this "head of the family" was
there. Stern as he was In the discharge of his
duty ; swift, to lollow neglect with rebuke.the more
felt for Its high courtesy, so that no id,er, no lag?
gard could stay on his stiff, he had the love and
affection-the veneration, the earnest love or his
comparatively youthful military family, and won,
rather than compelled, them to duty.
I see around the camp fire thc old man, with
his companions In arms. Among them that peer?
less son or Virginia-like himself, without stain
or reproach, the gnllont Stuart-cheering him
when depressed and worn by his "minstrel band,'*
by his cheery laugh, his overdo win g spirits. These
crowd around me, and my memory claims utter?
ance of them.
lt was, however, not my Intention to say any?
thing now, but only to move this Chamber to re?
commend to, this community to cease from all
business to-morrow. Though far off, we will fol?
low, with our heart? bowed with sorrow, the re?
mains of our great leader to their last home. -
I move, Mr. Pr?sident, that this Chamber re?
commend that all places of business be closed to?
morrow.
The question was then put, and the pream?
ble and resolutions were unanimously adopted.
On motion, the Chamber then adjourned.
